There were two posts on Saturday...early in the day... on the "other" board. They have subsequently been deleted. They posters alluded to the fact that the opposition to the Churches move here is racially based. The posts were deleted when I checked the board late last night.
I posted a note asking Todd several question, as well as one asking where the posts re "Race" was. My post was deleted also. Then this morning I posted asking him why my post was deleted.... Suprise surprise...that one was deleted also this morning after about 5 minutes. Here is today's post:
I posted this question to you last night Todd, and it is not on the board. Did you delete it??? Did I touch a sensitive topic?? I posted it last night about 11:30 PM. Here it is again. I will cross post this particular post question on the board that allows Free Speech on this topic, so even if you do delete it, others will see it.
Don’t you dare say middle ground, because there have been no concrete, reasonable offers, and once Ireland is in, all opposed don’t trust his motives.
Don’t you dare say less people care about this, or the majority of people are for the move because of 300-400 people attending a meeting. That many is a huge representative population when looked at in ratio to the other planning board meeting this town has held.
Now onto my message that I am sure you will have some canned reply to.
Why do you continue to say that you believe the majority of people support your cause? You and 1 or 2 other people (and you probably use an alias for one of the nicknames) are the only individuals that I have ever noticed in support.
Ohhh, and I am curious....where are the posts from a few people who were claiming that the resistance of the church is racially motivated that I saw in this very board yesterday???????
It would be nice to have an opportunity to address them and have of a few of the Rockaway residents against the Churches construction/move here, also explain their reasons.
There are concrete reasons that are not racially based, for the residents of Rockaway to continue to fight this new Festival Ground/ Campus that Ireland is trying to construct.
All along, the organized resistance, and the people not necessarily aligned with any group, have been taking the High Road. The tax, traffic, infrastructure implications and other assorted reasons are cause enough to shout out against this proposed terrible encumbrance upon the residents of this town.
